Superbe dégustation de Whisky grâce à Christopher qui est très sympathique et s'est adapté à notre niveau d'anglais en parlant lentement.Très bon moment de partage.Posted on Fab Fab We enjoyed a wonderful afternoon in St.Patrick's tasting room under the excellent guidance of Chris. He was extremely welcoming and knowledgeable about the products. We highly recommend a visit and we will certainly return.Posted on Mary Keogh Had an absolutely wonderful tasting of their whiskies this afternoon. Cyril was a very hospitable and informative host, and I was impressed by every glass I tasted. It was a no-brainer to take a bottle home with us. We even had the opportunity for a new find in Poitin, which is a spirit I'd never heard of. Overall great experience!Posted on Chris Malone Very enjoyable experience! Their 10 year old Sherry Cask finish was my favourite!Posted on Chris Great experience 💪🏼 I recommend 🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃Posted on Marek Petrovič Very pleasant tasting.Posted on Mikael Le Mao Definitely worth the bus ride out of Cork. A variety of tasting menu options. The barman was very informative about the history of Irish whiskey and the distillery itself and the whiskey is lovely. We weren't rushed and able to take our time to taste the different options and understand the differences between them. The Irish cream is unbelievably good.Posted on Ian Drummond Lovely experience! I 100% recommend. The tasting was very personal and Lucas gave us comprehensive details about the products. If you want something out of the beaten tracks, just go!Posted on Antonin Demany If you are in Cork and enjoy whiskey, this is the place to go! You can go to Middleton and try whiskey, but this truly is a personalized experience with great whiskey. I had a great time and really enjoyed the whiskey!Posted on Tyler Oedekoven
